Willie:  You will be missed. You always had a smile on your face for all of us who worked with you in STICU, and a hug if we needed one.

My thoughts and prayers are with family and friends during such a difficult time. Willie is our angel now looking down upon us. Had the opportunity to work with Willie in STICU and he always had a smile on his face. What a pleasure it was to meet Willie and get to work beside him. So pleasent with the patients and patients families and to his coworkers.You will be missed greatly but never forgotten.

         I heard of Willies sudden passing.  I haven't seen him for a number of years.  We worked together in the ICU many years ago.  I was one of his first managers there.
         He was an outstanding person. . . . Always smiling, always upbeat, always gentle and patient with patients. . . He spoke often of his family and
the love he had for them.   He was one of Gods disciples.
         I am a better person for having known him.
         God's blessing and strength during your time of sorrow
        Phyllis

Every time I saw Willie his smile and hug made a day great!He'll be missed but not forgotten.

Sincerely,                             Lori Johnston
